Crosby's Return Accelerates for Pens

Sidney Crosby hits the ice in Cranberry, skating with speed and firing shots like the injury never happened, just weeks after that nasty Olympic hit from Gudas bent his leg awkwardly. Penguins brass and fans alike breathe easier as reports hint his four-week minimum - clocked from February 18 - might wrap up right around now, with no contact yet but clear progress in solo drills.
